hybris 5.2.0.2 Production Deployment fails

[Former Member]

I am configuring a new CI environment and I noticed an odd behavior when deploying the hybris platform. It always fails to run "ant clean all" on my target environment right after extracting the hybrisServer-*.zip files.

While the below WIKI links explain the process in detail of how to deploy to production, I decided to download the hybris commerce suite 5.2.0.2 from the wiki and I followed the steps accordingly, only to face the following error (which is surprisingly the same I have on my CI). Does anybody has any clue on why these steps doesn't work? Thanks!

Have you tried setting this in your local.properties? maven.update.dbdrivers=false

Just tried and it kinda worked. Is this property documented somewhere? I had to copy the hsqldb driver to the hybris/bin/platform/lib/dbdriver folder. I guess if maven cannot be used for the base dependencies I'll have to add yet another step on my CI to resolve these kind of things... Not ideal at all...

Any chance of making either the pom.xml files available on the deployment artifacts or making the deployment artifacts works without having to run "ant clean all"? I.e. Is the "ant clean all" targets only used to regenerate the platformhome.properties or is there any other stuff that needs to be refreshed with it? I have some Gulp tasks running as a macro on the buildcallback.xml that is also annoying to set values to skip this execution. Having to run a compilation after packing for production deployment is unsettling.

You will need to call ant after deployment of zip files. There are additional things that happens when calling ant so as documentation suggests you need to call after zip file deployment: precompiles jsp, copies the tomcat configuration of the embedded server What I have seen work well in deployments is setting up a defined location for the db driver and configure the deployment script to fetch it. Other workarounds are discussed here but I think you should avoid ant customize if you can.

I am facing same issue on for Hybris 5.4 deployment also tried adding maven.update.dbdrivers=false in local.properties but it didn't work. Can you please explain what other steps you performed to make it work.

Could you please explain what changes need to be done in script to make it work. I am facing this issue on Hybris 5.4. Please recommend.
